A few months ago MarcP had mentioned he found some brackets from a Jeep lift that would convert the upper shock mounting hardware from a "pin" mount to an "eye" mount. I think a few people here have fabbed some up something similar themselves. I was browsing the net and found these pre-fabbed and independent from a lift kit. They are made by Rubicon Express and can be found HERE.
They require that the diameter of the mounting hole be increased by about a millimeter, other than that they bolt right on with a 27mm socket. Now I have a heck of a lot more shock options.

The brackets

I will be installing mine this weekend if I have time...basically the same brackets you got.

I like it, looks pretty easy to fab up yourself too

I put mine on last night.....what a PITA. I always have trouble getting the rear shocks on the lower stem. I still need to tighten things down more. I will get some pics tonight.

Got mine on with some new MX-6 adjustable shocks...

That is an excellent idea. I learned first hand the other day about just how fun it is getting to that upper shock bolt on the passenger side. My only question/concern would be the limiting of travel. is this a factor?

FYI - a Flex Head Angled 3/8" ratchet with a 14mm deep well will fit between the frame rail and the body for those upper shock mounts. Of course, if you have a body lift, you have no issues getting to it. Sorry for the basic info.

Marc P where did you find the hardware i went to countless hardware shops and i can't find it

How much offset do these give? they look to be about 1" or so

FredTJ

Yup, you loose about 1" in compression (upward travel).

So if you put these on with only 1.5" of lift in the back would it be best to just run stock length and travel shocks or extended?

How do you like them mx6's I have a set but never put them on just wondering how the ride?? Whats the legth collapsed and extended and what kind of hight is in your rear lift??
